Abstract: 344,453. Boots &c. ETABLISSEMENTS R. SCHNEIDER, 17, Rue Cadet, Paris, and POELMAN, A., 21, Rue de Conflans, Charenton, Seine, both in France. Dec. 6, 1929, No. 37478. Convention date, Dec. 8, 1928. [Class 17 (ii).] Uppers, protecting during lasting and other operations.-Leather, skin, artificial leather, or fabric used in the manufacture of boots and shoes is covered before use with a protective coating which is elastic to allow distortion during shaping, and slightly adherent so as not to become detached during the making of the article, but capable of being removed without damaging the surface of the leather. The coating may consist of a film of cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose, or benzyl cellulose, rendered plastic by organic solvents or by camphor or castor oil &c. Thin sheets of guttapercha or indiarubber may also be used. Cellulosic films may be attached by calendering, or by pouring on a solution of the material; the surface of the leather may be first moistened with benzene or with a substance precipitating the solution in order to make the film less strongly adherent. In the case of rubber or guttapercha films, the sheet is calendered in such a way that the adhesion is not too strong.

Abstract: 1,235,854. 854. Photo-electric smoke monitoring. ASSOCIATED BRITISH COMBUSTION Ltd. and F. KERSHAW & PARTNER (ELECTRONICS) Ltd. Aug.15, 1968 [Aug.18, 1967], No.38137/67. Heading G1A. [Also in Division G3] Combustion is controlled by altering the fuel/ air ratio in dependence on the density of black and white smoke in the exhaust, the density of white smoke being detected by measuring the degree of reflection of a light beam shone through the exhaust and the density of black or white smoke being detected by measuring the degree of obstruction of the light beam. As shown exhaust gases from a flue or stack are fed through inlet arms 2, 3 into opposite ends of a viewing tube 4 illuminated by a lamp and lens at one end. A photo-cell 8 at the opposite end of viewing tube 4 measures the degree of obstruction of the light beam and a photo-cell 9 in a lateral branch of tube 4 measures the degree of reflection, vanes 10 fitted along branch 5 of tube 4 forming a "Tyndall" tube which prevent reflection of light by the walls of tube 4. The signal from the two photo-cells is fed with a set point signal to a bridge and any out of balance drives an air supply motor through a servo-amplifier. The tube 4 may be purged by operating a solenoid valve 13 to admit clean air thereto so that the photoelectric detector may be reset to zero by the arrangement described in copending Specification 1, 209, 024.

For each floor, there corresponds a count, defined by signals S0S-S6S for the regular scan and by corresponding signals HSSOS-HSS6S for the high speed scan. For each count state of the regular scan at least one; and preferably more than one, {e.g. 5} ; complete scan takes place at the high speed rate, and, at equality of the high speed and regular count states, and due to flip-flop 138, for that part of the duration of the regular count state for which data is present, NAND 140 enables the updating of the data recirculating at the high speed rate in registers 110, 112, 114. Flip-flops 116, 118, 120 are clocked at an advanced phase relative to the registers, to ensure that the new data enters the correct count slot. Some count states may be used to indicate car express zones, or remain unused. The regular data rate is the highest rate possible without noise in the car travelling cable introducing errors.
